Degrees

Students who study Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering will gain a fundamental understanding of physical, chemical, and biological processes and will possess the ability to apply molecular and biomolecular information and methods of discovery into products and the processes by which they are made. CHBE is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Bachelor of Science

The Chemical Engineering undergraduate program includes a rigorous curriculum incorporating chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics. We teach students how these disciplines are used in careers in energy, smart materials, biotechnology, industrial-scale production, electronics, and nanotechnology.

Combined ChBE Bachelor of Science (B.S.)/Master of Science in Systems Engineering (MSSE) Program

The UMD Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the Institute for Systems Research are pleased to offer a five-year B.S./Master of Science in Systems Engineering (MSSE) program. The program offers interested ChBE undergraduate students a strong foundation in process systems engineering (PSE) concepts.
